Here's the first card I created featuring a beautiful summer scene ....

Doesn't it look like the gazebo in the middle of your town square? I added a bit of gingham DP for a country feel with a quatrefoil die cut panel on top. I colored the image with Copics and inks using a punched scallop to create sponged "clouds." I added a dab of Flower Soft where the original design called for flowers. And just for a bit of punch, I added a few blossoms and paper punched sprigs in the corner. I think I can smell that rose!

Now on to card number 2...

I used the same technique on this one. I colored with both Copics and ink. A few die cut vines, paper punched flowers with beads and a tiny lady bug adorn the side. The lady bug was a brad I snipped and repurposed for this project. The main CS layer is gray with white layering and some fun denim DP. This image reminds me of the tobacco barn at the old home place. I miss it so much!

Both of these cards are absolutely beautiful. The colouring on the gazebo is stunning, it makes it look so real. I love the colouring on the barn also. Superb makes. Hugs, Jen :-) xxKrafty Keepsakes - jenni45.blogspot.co.uk

Beautiful cards...love them both!! I always dreamed of having a gazebo like that in my back yard!! And the barn card is fantastic! My uncle had a farm with a barn just like this. We spent many years there when I was a child with our huge family having picnics and camping out in tents on their property!!

Pray for our dear Grace
